Modern Mobile Home Siding

Metal siding for mobile homes.

Modern mobile home siding.

There are a few different variations of wood siding. Metal siding has been used for decades in mobile and manufactured homes. It can t melt but it can dent and scratch. From moving at an angle across the upper portion of the home to following the long lines of the deck around the middle this modern siding flows perfectly over the entire home.

The use of cost effective and insulating vinyl siding offers a level of quality to the mobile home that was unavailable with the earlier barn and shed like corrugated steel panels. It s lightweight and practically indestructible because it s fire proof and insect proof. In this case the siding changes shape and direction as it moves across the home s exterior. In that case consider using shingles for the exterior in place of lap siding.

Wood siding panels or t1 11 pronounced t one eleven is a plywood wood that has been pressed into rectangle panels that extend the entire height of a mobile home. This material is susceptible to wood rot bugs and holes over time. Not every mid century modern home needs to play up its lines. Some homes already have that look covered.

Modern mobile home siding is often the same grade siding as the kind used on a traditional home. There s t1 11 or plywood which is a 4 x 8 foot grooved panel that can be installed either vertically or horizontally on a mobile home. Modern siding needs to be able to follow the shape of the building. Shingles can help capture some of the natural texture that s so popular with this style while giving your home a more unique appearance.
